Why Is There A COVID Vaccine Mandate For Students?

I can’t figure out why Stanford is mandating the COVID vaccine for students.

Is it to protect students from the virus, hospitalization, or death?

Is it to protect them from other students?

Is it to protect the Stanford community members from the students?

If it’s to protect the students from catching COVID, that doesn’t make sense because the CDC says it “no longer differentiate(s) based on a person’s vaccination status because breakthrough infections occur.”

The CDC also acknowledges natural immunity, noting that “persons who have had COVID-19 but are not vaccinated have some degree [Science!] of protection against severe illness from their previous infection.”

It appears Stanford didn’t get the memo because Maxwell Meyer—a double-jabbed, COVID-recovered alum who was nearly prohibited from graduating for choosing not to get boosted—was informed by an administrator that the booster mandate is “not predicated on history of infection or physical location.”
